EfficientIP adds DNS engine to the portfolio

IP management specialist EfficientIP has widened its options adding a hybrid DNS engine to the
products that it wants resellers to take out to market as it moves to strengthen the protection
offered to users operating on mobile platforms.

The vendor has taken steps to react to a growing need for protection
against denial of service attacks and cache poisoning and argues that a service that offers three
DNS engines - BIND, Unbound and NSD - is best positioned to
cover potential user problems.

The pressure on customers has increased because the number of platforms accessing the web in an
organisation continues to rise and hackers attempts to flood the DNS server with denial of service
attacks are becoming more frequent.

As a result of its push on the DNS hybrid engine front the vendor is going to be promoting its
security credentials to resellers and customers and Scott Breadmore, UK sales manager at EfficientIP, said that adding it to other networking products
made it a stronger sale for the channel.

"What we are giving resellers is a strong message to take across a large number of industry
sectors," he added that there were more networking opportunities for those that were selling, "a
complete end-to-end solution rather than just a point product sale".
